    My family and me don't pour any cooking oil down the sink. We use all of the cooking oil until its gone and throwing the plastic bottles in the blue bin or reuse them for other stuff.

    I dont waste that much stuff in my home. I use a brown paper grocery bag to hold my waste. like soda cans, paper plates, water bottles, napkins/paper towels. For week, i used that grocery bag to collect my waste. At most it usually has around 20 items or lower before i depose the items in the right bins.

    me and family like to reuse plastic straws, plates, and bottles until they stop "being useful" instead just throwing it away.

    By picking up litter from time to time keeps the community clean and safe. Picked up like 2 soda cans around the sfsu campus, 2 paper plates around my work and 1 plastic bottle around my neighborhood.
